Blocked Events

Your Protection level will determine what items Active Protection automatically blocks. You can also block items manually on some protection levels. When a potential malware item is blocked - specifically those blocked by the Internet Browser monitors - you may notice the effect during your Internet operations. For example, Active Protection will not allow particular items to be downloaded or displayed if harmful to your system unless you allow it.

Active Protection lists the items that were previously blocked. You can view the list, display any details associated with a blocked event, and chose to remove or restore a blocked item.

To view the Blocked Events list, do the following:

1. On the left side of the Main window, click the Active Protection title panel.
2. In the Active Protection panel click Blocked Events.
